DIALux evo Software - Intermediate

For a number of years, the Lighting Industry Academy has been running a classroom-based course aimed at providing delegates with an understanding of DIALux 4 Software. However, DIAL does not intend to develop DIALux 4 any further as they focus future developments on the now established DIALux evo.

Following the release of DIALux evo there were many versions during the development of this completely new software, and because it’s totally new software, there was slow uptake of it amongst DIALux users. But the latest release integrates design tools key to the success of lighting designers in coming years (integration with Building Information Modelling for one).

DIALux evo courses are offered as a natural extension of the existing training on DIALux software and are available at the Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced levels.

About DIALux evo

DIALux evo was launched in 2012 to replace the old DIALux 4.12

It is a much faster tool with better rendering, better handling of a complex model and has a different concept of construction, applying material, light and making the calculation.

With DIALux evo software you can design, calculate and visualize light professionally for single rooms, whole floors, buildings and outdoor scenes.

DIALux software is available as a desktop version and as a basic mobile app which can be downloaded at the following link - https://www.dial.de/en/dialux/

The course is designed to be delivered at any location with the only requisites of a screen/projector and suitable power for a course which requires laptops for each trainee.

All attendees will need to bring their own laptop with the latest DIALux evo software installed.

MODULES/ LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The DIALux evo Intermediate course will introduce attendees to more detailed settings of the software for use with daylight, working on complicated building designs and multiple stories, use of 3D objects with Boolean operations and importing bin files detailed maintenance assessments and use of Ray tracing.

Delegates will experience the software live working along with the tutor using worked examples. The tutor will answer questions and solve software related problems during the workshop.

> The ability to import CAD and IFC format files and work with them to provide lighting designs

> Gain an understanding of the settings within the software,

> Understand how to produce meaningful outputs in both electronic and paper format.

> An understanding of the practicalities of lighting measures within lighting software.

> An overview of lighting terminology, and basic methods of lighting calculation.

COURSE MATERIALS

As the software is being updated on a regular basis with new features being added, it is not intended for the course to have course notes or handouts for delegates to take home. The attendees will be given relevant examples, in DIALux evo format, to work on throughout the course which they may keep.

ATTENDANCE

One day: 9:30 am – 4:30 pm.

ASSESSMENT

The learners are not assessed on this course.

PROGRESSION

Students can enhance their learning of the software at the Intermediate level by doing the DIALux evoAdvanced course.

Students may want to consider other courses in Lighting Design Software for training on DIALux offered at the Foundation and Intermediate levels and Relux at the Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced levels.

In addition, learners may also want to improve their knowledge of a specific topic of lighting by enrolling on to the courses in one of the following subject areas:
